TRUFFLE WONTON MEE (Recipe Included!)

After "I-love-SALTED-EGG-YOLK-anything", my next love is undoubtedly "I-love-TRUFFLE-anything!" We bought a bottle of white truffle oil sometime back, and judging by its utilization rate, we wondered when we're ever going to finish it. Time to get cooking! Lol! #PinkyPigguDomesticGoddessWannbe

It so happened that we were given some fresh egg noodles and wonton wrappers by a friend whose family runs a business supplying these foodstuff, so..... tadah! We decided to cook TRUFFLE WONTON MEE!

If you know this PinkyPiggu's style, experimenting in the kitchen is one thing which she really enjoys, so preparation method or combination of ingredients might not always conformed to the usual (Haha I wonder if that's a good or bad thing?).

My version of wontons are stuffed with minced pork and sautéed mushrooms with onions, just lightly seasoned with soy sauce, salt, pepper and truffle oil. We made around 35 pieces of truffle wontons, the "leftover" fillings were then sautéed with sliced mushrooms, tossed with egg noodles, and finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Served it with some blanched greenies, and what we had for dinner that evening was a satisfying one-dish meal :)
